INGREDIENTS

  • 1 x 480g pack Hellers Country Pork sausages
  • 4 x brioche burger buns
  • 8 x whole eggs cracked into a bowl and whisked together, add seasoning
  • 6 Fresh chives cut with scissors to add into the egg mix
  • 4 x slices of cheddar
  • 4 x large sliced gherkins we recommend Delmaine - plus more if desired
  • Ploughman's or caramelised onion style chutney for spreading
  • Butter - must be the real deal!
  • Serve with fried potatoes if desired
  1. Butter the inside top and bottom of each brioche bun....yes this is an important step! Set aside [do not close them together as they will stick] as you are going to fry them in the pan after the patties
  2. Remove the sausage meat from the casings into a bowl and form 4 balls - use wet hands to help with the stickiness. Between your hands press the balls of sausage meat out to create a roughly shaped flat burger patty
  3. Place the sausage patties into a fry pan with a little oil and fry over medium heat allowing each side to caramelise. If you have a lid pop it on as it speeds up this process. Fry until thoroughly cooked through then sit the burgers aside covered to keep warm for a few minutes
  4. Wipe the pan out with a paper towel, place the buttered side down brioche buns into the pan and fry over medium - low heat until golden. It is vital you don't walk away from the fry pan at this stage as they caramelise quickly due to the sugar in the buns - so stay and watch and repeat with remaining buttered buns. Set aside to keep warm while you cook the final step
  5. In the same fry pan add another dash of oil or butter / ghee and once it reaches medium heat pour in the egg and chive mixture. Allow the eggs to move around a little with your spatula then finish by leaving the eggs to 'just set' across the whole fry pan - remove from heat and portion into 4 like you would a pizza
  6. To assemble spread the bottom of the brioche bun with chutney, top with the sausage patty and a slice of cheese, now the egg and finally the large slice of gherkin. Pop on the top and eat immediately!
